[Bug 9256] New: upd:replaceNode creates namespace bindings on parent($target), not $target

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9256

           Summary: upd:replaceNode creates namespace bindings on
                    parent($target), not $target
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Candidate Recommendation

            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

In section 3.2.1 upd:mergeUpdates, semantics bullet 2. f. ii. reads:

"upd:replaceNode creates one namespace binding on the $target element
corresponding to the implied namespace binding of the name of each attribute
node in $replacement."

I believe here $target should be replaced with parent($target).  When
$replacement contains attributes, the $target node must also be an attribute. 
(see section 2.4.3.1, bullets 3/4)

This issue also applies to step 1 in upd:applyUpdates.
